Built on the outskirts of Mombasa City, memories of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the late United Arab Emirates President will remain in the area for generations to come.

The second ruler of Abu Dhabi who died last week was commemorated in the country in a befitting memorial by the school which he established and sponsored since 1985, a learning institution bearing his name.

According to Principal Khamis Mohammed, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Secondary and Technical School’s commemoration of their founder in this special manner was consistent and in line with their school policy to honour him.
